Some early notes…
— UCLA running back Paul Perkins was banged up but still excelled early in a win over Colorado. He had 12 rushes for 118 yards and five catches for 49 yards. He added two touchdowns. He’s one to monitor — very fluid and athletic as a runner with great vision. Finds a crease and explodes. Doesn’t go down after contact. Very impressive one-cut runner.
— Alex Collins of Arkansas is having a big day against UT Martin. With a full quarter still to play he has 173 yards on just 16 carries with FIVE touchdowns.
